Bronchial stent NOVATECH® GSS™

silicone

NOVATECH® GSS™ Tracheobronchial silicone stents NOVATECH® GSS™ combine good X-ray visibility with optimized endoscopic tissue monitoring NOVATECH and the LOT are imprinted on each NOVATECH® GSS™. This way, the stent can easily be traced back to its origin if necessary. Features Transparency and radio-opacity (NOVATECH® GSS™) Studs filled with gold and barium sulfate, combining good X-ray visibility with optimized endoscopic tissue monitoring. Large collection for perfect adaption The key condition for perfect tolerance of the stents is to use a stent which is perfectly adapted to the patient’s needs. For this reason and in order to be prepared for any situation, it is essential to provide the physician with a basic line of different stent types, diameters and lengths. The stents must not be cut in order to avoid the risk of granulation and to ensure mucociliary clearance (please refer to the Instructions for Use). Anti-migration stud system Depending on design, there are 2, 3 or 4 lines of studs on the stent outside. The stud design minimizes the risk of migration of the stent by fixing it between the cartilaginous rings of the tracheo-bronchial tree. The stent design inhibits cough reflexes. The studs reduce direct contact between the stent surface and the mucosa and distribute compressive forces evenly among the small stud surfaces. Non-adherent smooth surface The stent inside is treated with a silicone-based layer which makes the surface anti-adherent, minimizing the risk of obstructions and improving mucociliary clearance. The stent surface is excellently tolerated by the mucosa.
